I had to take the plunge and moderate comments today. There has simply been too much spam and junk that I do not want any of you to have to read. I do not generate -- nor do I expect to generate -- a lot of commenting on this blog anyway, so I should be able to post them fairly quickly should you decide you have something to say. Comments actually related to my posts are, of course, always welcome.

I know regular, loyal readers will understand, and I thank you for that!
